Abstract

The PAREX+ code is a major tool in the field of separation chemistry. It allows for the modelling and simulation of separation processes base on solvent extraction. In this code, the distribution of interest species between the aqueous and organic phases is calculated at every point in the process, both in steady and transitory states. The aim of this thesis is to improve this distribution model. To achieve this, a better understanding of the phenomena involved in the organic and aqueous phases is necessary, as well as a new approach to incorporate them into the model. This thesis thus combines experimental work and modeling. The student will join a supervisory team composed of experts in separation chemistry and modeling. His work will be valued through the publication of papers and participation in international conferences. At the end of this thesis, the student will have solid knowledge in the field of solvent extraction and its modeling, which he can leverage with industry or research organizations in the nuclear field or in other areas of separation chemistry (separation of rare earths or hydrometallurgy).
